Alycia Lane, Feisty Philly Anchor, Fired

Alycia Lane, the feisty Philadelphia anchor who was arrested last month for fighting with a New York City cop, has been fired.

From CBS 3 (KYW-TV):

CBS 3 (KYW-TV) announced today that Alycia Lane has been released from her contract effective immediately.

CBS 3 President and General Manager Michael Colleran stated, "After assessing the overall impact of a series of incidents resulting from judgments she has made, we have concluded that it would be impossible for Alycia to continue to report the news as she, herself, has become the focus of so many news stories. We wish to make clear that we are not prejudging the outcome of the criminal case against Alycia that is pending in New York. We understand that Alycia expects to be fully vindicated in that proceeding. We hope that is the case and we wish her the best in all her future endeavors."

This is just the latest in the long saga involving Alycia Lane.

Previously, Lane attracted controversy over bikini photos she sent to NFL Network anchorman Rich Eisen. Playboy has also reportedly been considering an offer for Lane to pose naked in their magazine.

If she was the White House spokesperson, she would have been promoted by now.

This is just like when CBS fired Daniel Schorr in the sixties. CBS is totally gutless when it comes to taking on politicians to protect their people.

I bet Edward R. Murrow is up in heaven wishing he had worked for NBC instead.

That was for calling the cop a DYKE...homobigot!

[imsosure]

I'll bet she could get a job working under the table.

Alycia Lane, Feisty & Foxy Philly Anchor, Fired is how the 'headline' should read.

Hugh has got to be drooling over the prospect of getting her into the Playboy mansion!!

Good choice.

[Harrier]

They cops were driving like they owned the road and begain playing I'm the thug and baiting her. This is nothing and the station has no back bone whatsoever. If not lik sh was making love to the Mayor. What if the cops was a dyke-truth is a grat defense

[truthyguy]

Watch.
She will surface somewhere else, doing something else and being paid substantially more than she is worth. Which all goes to prove the old adage - shit floats.

[CountryBeforeParty]

So I guess we can expect that Playboy photo shoot now?

Let's hope so...

Alysia, you should have told the cop that it's people like you who pay his salary and it's your godgiven right to smack him around all you please. He should have shut up about it and even denied it happened. He should have courtsied to you too.

I think the NYTimes should hire her. Or Newsweek.

God knows she's better looking than either Rove or Kristol and she can certainly make up shet just as well, like her alibi for punching a cop.

She really does have the Faux News bimbo look. She should send her cv to Rupert. I'm sure she'd get a job in a flash.

[talkingdog]

Looks good to me!

[uheardme]

She is a nut.
